Description

Method for production of semi-conductor thermoelectric device and its material and apparatus thereof
The present invention relates to the manufacture method and the equipment of a kind of semi-conductor thermoelectric device and material thereof.
The direct refrigeration of paltie effect when thermoelectric device utilizes electric current to pass through semiconductor.Semiconductor heat electric refrigerator simple structure does not have the working medium circulation, does not have mechanical movement, and noiseless is pollution-free, small and light, is widely used on space technology, ocean development, electronics, medical treatment and many household electrical appliance, is particularly suitable for making Small Refrigerating Equipment.But thermoelectric device is for more powerful application, and as large refrigerator and air conditioner, it is promoted and also is subjected to the high and inefficient restriction of cost.Causing the high principal element of thermoelectric device cost is thermoelectric material and device fabrication complexity, and rate of finished products is low.
The structure of industrial so far typical heat electric device as shown in Figure 1, its elementary cell is a semiconductor thermocouple, a thermocouple arm P of galvanic couple p N-type semiconductor N material, another thermocouple arm N n N-type semiconductor N material, two thermocouple arm P, N connect with metal conductive strips B, C, after polarity adds direct voltage as shown, absorbing heat with the contact place of bonding jumper B, with the contact place heat release of bonding jumper C, A, D are the heat conductive insulating plate, by plate A cooling by heat absorption, emit by the heat that plate D will produce.Wherein key component is p type thermocouple arm P and n type thermocouple arm N, the efficient of their performance decision thermoelectric device work.Traditional thermoelectric arm all is the square section cylinder, and size is about 1~3mm, and the thermoelectric arm material mainly is that bismuth-tellurium is an alloy.The method of this thermoelectric material of manufacturing of present industrial practicality mainly is divided into two classes, and promptly crystal growth and powder sintering are made crystal ingot earlier, cut into the thermoelectric arm shape then, and there are a series of shortcomings in these two kinds of methods.
Crystal growth is that component raw material is mixed the back heat fused, becomes monocrystalline or polycrystalline ingot with normal freezing method or zone-melting process or Grown by CZ Method, as European patent EP 258361, and U.S. Pat 5108515 etc.This method might make the preferable material of thermoelectricity capability, and its technological process is: batching → fusion → crystal growth → heat treatment → orientation → section → stripping and slicing.Its defective is:<1〉complex process, during operating cost;<2〉during crystal growth because impurity segregation causes composition along the ingot skewness, the utilance of material is low;<3〉crystal has tangible cleavage fissure, and is very fragile, breaks easily when cutting, assembling and use, because damage, cracking and fragmentation in the course of processing make rate of finished products very low, is difficult to use machinery during assembly device, needs manual careful operation.
For solving the problem of crystal growth, developed powder sintering.As day the disclosure specially permit flat 3-233980, flat 5-48125 and international monopoly WO 90-16086 etc., its technological process is: batching → fusion → quench solidification → fragmentation → screening → compacting → sintering → section → stripping and slicing.But also there is intrinsic shortcoming in powder sintering:<1〉operation is many, requires sternly, and it is many to stain chance, and a day disclosure is speciallyyed permit flat 4-293276 and is adopted the fusion spray method of dripping to make fine powder to prevent to stain, but needs compacting sintering;<2〉have a large amount of spaces and crystal boundary in the crystal ingot, thermoelectricity capability is worsened, carrier mobility descends, and resistivity increases, and Joule heat increases, and refrigeratory capacity reduces;<3〉doping is difficult to control, adds a certain amount of impurity and can not necessarily obtain required carrier concentration, therefore with same prescription and process conditions, is difficult to repeat to obtain satisfied material behavior.
What these two kinds of methods made all is crystal ingot, make thermoelectric arm and also crystal ingot must be cut into fritter.From the thermoelectric device technological principle as can be known, for a certain amount of material, obtain bigger specific refrigerating effect, the thermoelectric arm size should be as far as possible little, but make the restriction that little thermoelectric arm is subjected to cutting loss, the cube that present technical feasible lower limit is the 1mm length of side, adopt present cutting technique, if the cube of the cutting 0.5mm length of side, only the loss of cutter seam just reaches 80%, and owing to the cutting affected layer on surface, the availability of material is lower again, technical infeasible, therefore its refrigerating capacity of thermoelectric device with present technology manufacturing is restricted.
In a word, the method operation of existing manufacturing thermoelectric material is many, and loss is big, the quality control difficulty, and the specific refrigerating effect of device is little, and the cost height is unfavorable for the application of more high-power refrigeration.
The object of the invention is to improve the structure of thermoelectric device, proposes the manufacture method and the equipment of relevant semi-conducting material, thereby simplifies technology, reduces loss, improves performance and reduce cost.Specifically, propose a kind of thermoelectric device of new construction, semiconductor thermoelectric arm wherein is spherical, and promptly p N-type semiconductor N geode and n N-type semiconductor N geode make thermoelectric device have stronger refrigerating capacity, higher mechanical strength and superior manufacturability; Adopting the molten drop method to make bismuth-tellurium continuously is the alloy geode, and its process is batching → fusion → drop balling-up → heat treatment, the geode diameter unanimity of making, and surface-brightening is formed evenly, and compact structure has higher figure of merit; The special equipment of semiconductor geode is produced in design, and by disposing suitable drop jet pipe, coolant and protective gas device realize that semiconductor bismuth-tellurium is the serialization production of alloy geode, have production efficiency height, low, the rate of finished products advantages of higher of cost.
For realizing that purpose of the present invention adopts following technical measures:
1. square column type semiconductor thermoelectric arm adopts the semiconductor geode to replace in the conventional thermoelectric device, and this new structure thermoelectric device has the refrigeration performance more excellent than conventional device, has higher intensity simultaneously, better manufacturability;
2. adopting the molten drop method to make semiconductor bismuth-tellurium continuously is the alloy geode, by selecting of melt temperature, spout internal diameter, injection rate, vibration frequency and coolant, control geode diameter and internal crystal structure thereof, the semiconductor die bulb diameter unanimity of making, surface-brightening, form evenly compact structure;
3. design a kind of equipment of making the semiconductor geode that is exclusively used in, suitable drop jet pipe, cooling fluid and the gas system of configuration in this equipment realized stable continuous manufacturing geode.
Essence of the present invention is to change the semiconductor column piece as thermoelectric arm in the thermoelectric device into geode, and the method and apparatus of making this geode is provided simultaneously.
According to the thermoelectric device principle, the refrigeratory capacity of device under maximum freezing capacity state
Q 0= (α 2M(Th-Tc)(MTc-Th))/(R(M-1) 2(M+1)) (1)
Wherein,
M=[1+Z(Th+Tc)/2] 1/2
In the formula, α-thermoelectric power, Th-hot junction temperature, Tc-cold junction point temperature,
R-thermocouple resistance, the figure of merit of Z-material.
In order to obtain to try one's best big refrigeratory capacity under greater efficiency, the thermocouple resistance R should be as far as possible little as can be known by (1) formula.For the thermoelectric material of unit quantity, the all-in resistance of square thermoelectric arm is:
R=ρ*L 2
Wherein, the resistivity of ρ-material, the length of side of the square thermoelectric arm of L-.
Therefore, reduce length of side L, refrigeratory capacity Q OIncrease with quadratic relationship.Yet square thermoelectric arm length of side L reduces to be subjected to the restriction of technical conditions, and by present cutting technique level, during the cube of the cutting 1mm length of side, only the loss of cutter seam just reaches 60%, and this is the minimum dimension that present thermoelectric device is produced.If the cube of the cutting 0.5mm length of side, the loss of cutter seam will be above 80%, and the surface damage layer thickness that cutting at this moment causes is approaching with component size, so impracticable.
For spherical thermoelectric arm, the resistance of Board Lot thermoelectric material is:
R=0.548ρ*d 2
Wherein d is the geode diameter.Make the restriction that geode is not cut, diameter can be very little, so resistance is very little, can obtain big refrigeratory capacity under higher freezing capacity.The thermoelectric material of equivalent, the spherical arm device refrigeratory capacity of 0.5mm diameter are 4~6 times of the square arm device of the 1mm length of side.
The key of success of the present invention be make that thermoelectric property is good, compact structure and the uniform bismuth-tellurium of diameter is the geode of alloy.It is geode that the present invention is used for after with the drop technological improvement making n type and the p type bismuth-tellurium of forming accurately control continuously.
By required composition preparation, heating and melting mixes, and passes through lip jet with feed metal.The theory of become dripping according to jet [N.R.Linblad and J.M.Scheider, J.Sci. Instr.42,6,35(1965)] obtains single size drop optimum flow rate and is:
Vm=f*ds*π(2+6.We 1/2/Re) 1/2
This moment, the gained liquid-drop diameter was:
d=ds[1.5π(2+6We 1/2/Re) 1/2] 1/3
F-vibration frequency in the formula, the We-Weber number, the Re-Reynolds number,
The ds-jet diameter, dD has relation with capillary diameter:
ds=β*dD
Factor beta=0.866 wherein
For metal We 1/2/ Re=0.001~0.004<<1 can obtain:
Optimum flow rate Vm=4.4ds*f (2)
Liquid-drop diameter d=1.88ds=1.63dD (3)
Therefore optimum flow rate and vibration frequency are chosen according to (2) formula, and liquid-drop diameter is determined according to (3) formula by the spout internal diameter.
The geode that is applicable to thermoelectric device must have good profile, internal structure and thermoelectric property, and the cooled and solidified process of molten drop is crucial.Bismuth-tellurium is that the characteristics of alloy are that melting heat is big, and conductive coefficient is little, therefore for big geode, gas cooled is inapplicable, it is the rerum natura and the rapid solidification thereof of alloy that the present invention has studied bismuth-tellurium, and for the cooling that forces of big geode employing cooling fluid, drop is rapidly solidificated into geode.Regulate effluxvelocity and cooling condition, make the thermoelectric geode of diameter unanimity, the inner uniform crystal particles of while geode, dense structure, not having bismuth-tellurium is the cleavage phenomenon of crystal, geode intensity height, and have good thermoelectricity capability.
